|
Natural Pyrethrins |
Combined with synergists Universal flushing agent (extremely repellant) MOA: affects the nervous system Antidote: fresh air Little to no residual lifespan |
|
|
Synergists |
Added to chemicals to enhance toxic effect Most commonly added to natural pyrethrins |
|
|
Synthetic Pyrethrins/Pyrethroids |
Lab created Increased residual lifespan (six weeks or more) MOA: affects the nervous system More toxic than natural Pyrethrins New reg and label language prevent runoff. Above cement/asphalt |
|
|
Phenylpyrazoles |
MOA: affects the nervous system Non-repellant Transfer effect by contact Very low toxicity Extremely effective against termites, ants and roaches |
|
|
Pyrroles |
Pro-insecticide Has to be ingested and broken down MOA: affects the electron transport system (no energy, dies of exhaustion) Slow acting Very low to no repellency "Reduced risk pesticide" |
|
|
Oxadiazines |
Pro-insecticide Has to be ingested and broken down MOA: affects the nervous system by blocking the sodium channel Very low to no repellancy "Reduced risk pesticide" |
|
|
Neonicotinoids |
MOA: affects the nervous system by binding to the nicotinic cholinesterase receptor and disrupts ability of the insect to transmit electrical impulses. Very low to no repellancy Worldwide concern exists regarding use and massive honey bee mortality (known as Colony Collapse Syndrome) |
|
|
Desiccants |
Naturally occurring produced from sand or fresh water diatoms MOA: pulls moisture out of the insect Desiccants are not toxic. Become toxic when mixed with pyrethrins and synergists Creates repellant environments |
|
|
Miscellaneous Baits |
Baits used for roaches and ants Non-repellant Long residual indoors (6 months to 1 year) Short residual outdoors (several days) |
|
|
Carbamates |
CPS only uses one - Apicide MOA: affects the nervous system Antidote: atropine Low odor Low repellancy Residual lifespan of 3 to 4 weeks |
|
|
Inorganics |
Materials which do not contain carbon Naturally occurring Boric Acid Slow acting Non-repellant Residual lifespan is indefinite if material remains dry Also effective if dissolved Ineffective if damp |
|
|
Insect Growth Regulators IGR |
MOA: mimics naturally occurring insect hormones Specific to insects Interferes with reproduction and development Stimulates adult roaches to feed, important when using baits Non-repellant |
|
|
Rodenticides |
MOA: Mostly anticoagulants Antidote: vitamin K1 Most are baits Block or pellet form Kills in 3 to 5 days
|
|
|
Organophosphates |
Phased out of use Moderately toxic Residual lifespan of 3 to 4 weeks CPS discontinued use |
